Have you got the same adventurous trim at the hairdresser's for a few years now and feel like you're caught in a kind of tonsorial rut? Don't worry, you are not alone.
For men who don't want to follow the latest hair trends, it can be all too easy to agree on a basic style and wear it to boredom and beyond. The solution: improve your game by picking a new classic cut that will refresh your look but won't make you shy away from old photos 10 years later.
These are the classic men's hairstyles you need to know and why you should consider them for yourself.
#01: The Buzz Cut
As for the haircuts, very few (if any) boast of the simplicity of the buzz cut. This military hairstyle has been around for as long as there have been clippers, and has the added benefit of being able to be done at home with a little practice.
The hair is cut to the same length with a hair clipper. Typically this ranges from grade 0 to grade 4. If you're longer, you're in an area with fluffy tennis balls. Which for a style-conscious Ghent is never a good place to find yourself.
#02: The Crew Cut
Another classic whose roots are firmly anchored in the armed forces is the crew cut. At its core, the crew cut is what your local alley hairdresser might call the "short back and sides". A solid option for men who are looking for something that is easy to style and maintain, but aren't ready for a full buzz cut just yet.
The hair is very short on the sides and at the back of the head. At the top it goes into a little longer hair. The front of the hair is often left a little longer and swept back into a neat, extra-short frolic.
#03: The French Crop
It's one of the most popular embellishments out there, but it's by no means a boring choice. The French crop is another shorter style that keeps things tidy in the back and sides, and offers a little more room for maneuver at the top. Often confused with a Caesar cut, the main difference here is the edge, which stays noticeably longer.
It has been hacked, modified, and updated over the years and is now often combined with an undercut or taper to keep things clean and contemporary.
#04: Short Dreads
Dreadlocks don't always have to be the waist-length versions preferred by seasoned Rastafarians. When worn a little shorter, they make for a sharp, timeless style for anyone with afro hair. This timely option has been made to great impact by everyone from the world's top musicians to A-list movie stars. So, if you decide to take them on yourself, you can be sure that you are in good company.
While some blindly swear that the dreadlocks can be made at home, if you want them to look elegant and uniform, you should consult a professional. There are a number of specialist hairdressers across the UK to assist you in your search. So before you take out the toothpaste and try it yourself, it's best to have a chat.
#05: Mid-Length Mop
Timothee Chalamet, Dev Patel and Justin Bieber all helped make medium length locks one of the biggest hair trends of the year. And it won't fall out of favor anytime soon. That's because loose, medium-length hair is not only one of the hottest haircuts of the moment, but it's also a time-honored classic. A great option for those who don't want things to be cut so neatly.
